17 Weeks & Hiding Pregnancy

So this LO (little one) is baby #5 for DH (dear husband) and I. It was unplanned, as we thought we were done. While we’re happy, we decided not to share as we have with our other pregnancies bc we didn’t have the mental capacity to deal with unwanted opinions about the number of kids we have. So I’ve been essentially hiding my pregnancy.

Well we find out the gender tomorrow and I am suuuuuper excited. Having done all this with just my husband has been so serene. However Thanksgiving is approaching and we plan on announcing then.. Any suggestions?

My friend wants me to wear a shirt that says "a turkey isn't the only thing cooking in the oven" or something like that for friendsgiving. Maybe wear a cute pregnancy shirt like that to thanksgiving to break the news.

I could have written this exact post myself. Except this is unexpected number 6 for us. I’m 15 weeks and my husband made me/us announce yesterday at our 2 year olds birthday party. I could’ve waited a lot longer... I’m starting to show and he was nervous about people starting to ask, lol. Anyway, our DS (dear son) opened a t-shirt that said “Big Brother 2019”. It took everyone a second to catch it.

Aww, congrats!!!! My husband comes from a family of 6 and I know when they find out we’re expecting, they’ll all be asking us about a 6th to keep the trend going.

That’s such a good way of announcing though! Hope you guys took video 😊
